Introduction
A National Parks Concession Pass gives eligible Australian pensioners and veterans free car entry into the 45 national parks that charge entry fees.
Concession passes are now digital, which means you will no longer receive a physical card to display in your vehicle.
The pass is linked to a single vehicle number plate registered in your name, or at your home address.
You can apply for a concession pass online.
